PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The 2026 women's swim and dive Ivy League Championship continued Thursday with student-athletes competing in the 500 freestyle, 200 individual medley, 50 freestyle, and the 1-meter dive.

In the preliminaries this morning, Izzy Mundee led the way for the Big Green in the 500 freestyle, rounding out the top-ten with a time of 4:50.516. Carinn Bethea was just one tenth of a second behind, finishing in 4:50.26.

Sydney Rawie also swam the 500 for the Big Green, finishing in 4:58.50. Ekin Okudur swam nearly one second faster than her seed time in the preliminaries, finishing in 5:01.69 for a lifetime best.

Addy Domian was the final swimmer in the 500 free for the Big Green, finishing in 5:04.38.

Katherine Jia, Sophia He, Maria Uranga, and Erika Ilkiu all swam the 200 individual medley. Jia was the second finisher in her heat, posting a 2:04.75, followed by He with a 2:08/29, Uranga with a 2:09.22 and Ilkiu with a 2:11.95.

Lane Murray kicked off the 50 free for the Big Green, finishing in 23.35, just faster than her seed time. Samantha Li finished in 23.69 followed by Lindsey Drumm (23.99) and Catherine Ritter (24.18).

Through five events and ahead of the finals on Thursday night, Dartmouth sat in seventh place, just ten points out of fourth.

In the 500 freestyle finals, Mundee claimed 11^th overall with a time of 4:51.18 followed by Bethea with a time of 4:51.92.

Rawie jumped two spots in her heat, rounding out the top-20, claiming 19^th with a time of 4:53.16, over five seconds faster than her seed time.

On the diving side, Klara Johnsson Stjernstrom collected points in the B-Final of the one meter, posting 231.60 points. Maggie Lambdin and Milly Kirkman also competed on the 1-meter, claiming 20^th and 24^th overall. Kirkman, a first-year, scored points in her first ever Ivy Championship thanks to her 24^th place finish.

The second day of the championship concluded with the 200-freestyle relay. Bethea, Li, Drumm, and Murray's combined time of 1:32.17 was the third fastest in program history and was headlined by Bethea's new team record in the first leg of the relay.

After two complete days of competition, Dartmouth has tallied 194 total points, but Head Coach Milana Socha is confident in where her team sits.

"We stepped it up in the finals compared to our prelims and are now two-for-two in terms of getting a ream record each day," Socha said. "We knew this would be our weakest day from how many possible points were on the table. Tomorrow, we get everyone on the team racing their individual events and with some double events too, we should be in an exciting position."

Friday's prelims begin at 11 a.m. and competition will include the 100 butterfly, 400 individual medley, 200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke, 100 backstroke, and the 3-meter dive. Finals of each of those races will begin at 6 p.m.
